Christmas Meditations: Are Snowflakes Really ‘Special?’

It’s snowing now!
The point about snowflakes is not merely that they are unique; this is merely a prejudice of the age. It’s that no matter how unique they are, they are rooted in the same fundamental essence and nature, and share a common life.
In other words, just as the rainbow signifies how the wrath of storms shall not be forever, the snowflakes signify how the endless clamour of Babel, and the dull, monotonous grind of senseless uniformity, are both alike washed in torrents of redeeming grief and love.
How few there be who comprehend this earthly gift from above; this heavenly bounty here below!
